HB is a better scorer but MKG is a phenomenal defender. When they matched up against one another I felt like MKG owned HB.
HB will be a star in this league I have little doubt about that but I think with MKG you are looking at something close to Scottie Pippen.

Yep. If Barnes had his own team he would dominate IMO.

Having said that, look at Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. They benefited a lot stats wise in their rookie seasons due to the teams they were on. So it works both ways.

MKG will be close to Scottie Pippen, but won't be a star.

Mmmmmmkay.

I think MKG would be a better fit on the Warriors and Barnes would be a better fit on the Bobcats.

MKG defends better, doesn't need to score to have a big impact, and can slash to the hoop.
Barnes can shoot, is a better scorer, and has a much higher potential to be a #1 guy.

Maybe both teams will realize this at some point and make a deal.

Clips finally lose in Denver... looks like no streak-busting for us.

Watched Jrue Holiday beat the Lakers....man...he's for real. Made Steve Nash look like Steve Nat.

Lakers have a tough stretch too....Denver...Clips...I could see them losing the next three easily.

odd...looks like he actually uses the guy as a stepping stone... I think the craziest dunkers do that...like Baron on AK47...they get extra lift from the defender.

I'm going to be scouting the Lakers/Clippers game tonight. Being televised on ESPN. Should be interesting. Lakers are at home so if they can't get it up for this one they must be impotent.
